Fri, 26 Jul 2013 11:04:35 +0000judy-rockshox5189541@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Thanks guys. Have ordered the X Tools one from CRC. It looks the same as the Planet X one but I realised I had some money in my Paypal account (random bike fund). If they are no use for his vintage bikes I will sign him up as a mechanic for my bikes!

Modern headset, BB, hub, crank, and freewheels/hubs all use different tools than were traditionally used. But getting him one of the sets mentioned above will be a good start that he can add to.</p>
<p>Or, maybe just buy him a nice set (or two!) of cone wrenches?

What do you think If I bought some obvious ones as a starter with a nice toolbox so he add tools as and when he needs?<br />
I see Evans are offering tools 3 for 2. Which ones should I get and where can I buy a nice toolbox please?

<p>Though, ironically, if he's into old bikes, some of the kits that are usually a bad option for modern bikes might make sense, cheaper kits tend to have lots of redundant old-school tools.

He's into all kinds of cycle stuff especially vintage bikes.Any of you guys out there know of anything reasonably priced but not total crap.
